After about 8 months making do with a cotton diaper and sometimes a Discwasher to get lint and dust off a record, I finally spent the $25 to get a Hunt EDA brush. It was better than the diaper as it took the lint off, got down in the groove, and seemed to de-stat the record a bit as well.
About 2 weeks later I got a 25-pack of 16"x16" 90,000 fiber/sq.in. microfiber cloths at Sam's for $10. They work so much better it's not even funny. The Hunt EDA brush just sits now. I still have no static electricity issues.
And when I want to deep clean, such as when I get a noisy record from a thrift shop, I use a handheld steam cleaner and these cloths to wipe 'em down. I often use them in conjunction with a spray-on record cleaner. Since getting some spray-on record cleaner and these microfiber cloths, keeping my records clean has no longer been a hassle or an issue.
